the problem:

SRI began work remodeling one of the locations of this popular lingerie retail chain, located on the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago. The project was to replace the current out dated tiles with marble floors. The store had to remain open to the public and needed to be presentable throughout the duration of the project. With hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise still in the store, SRI had to find a quick way to contain all of the dust from the remodel in order to prevent it from getting all over the retail space.

The Solution

Surface Shields provides innovative and modern dust containment and surface protection products. We worked directly with Jamie Sommerville, the owner and creator of SRI, to better understand his exact needs. SRI had scheduled all of the remodel construction over night when the store was closed. They remodeled the entire interior one section at a time. Each night they needed to put up plastic dust containment walls to prevent any mess from spreading, and every morning they needed to break it all down for the store to reopen to the public. SRI needed durable dust containment poles that they could depend on. Every night was a time crunch for SRI, and they needed to put their dust containment system up quickly and efficiently so that they could immediately get to work on the floors. We connected SRI with one of our distributors in the area to get them a total of 26 Dust Shield Pro Poles, both in 16ft and 12ft heights.

The Results

The Dust Shield Pro Poles withstood months of work and the overall durability of these poles were really put to the test. The remodelers creatively constructed various dust containment rigs to accommodate the unique shape of certain sections of the retail space. Crew members became so comfortable setting up the poles that some of them were able setup a 3 pole dust containment wall in less than a minute. The project was completed on time, none of the merchandise was damaged, and the business remained unaffected.
